Drain

[markyrome 4]

I had mine done on 12/19/14 and my wife had hers on 12/26/14. Our surgeon does them on everyone. Just a way to drain the fuild that builds up after surgery and to keep an eye out for any signs of leaks or infection. Niether of us had a problem with the JP drain. Only nuisance to me was having to keep asking the nurse for a safety pin to keep it up for when i went walking or to the bathroom.

It did not hurt coming out, but i prepared for it. Not sure the rules in the hospital that you are going to, but mine would not release you for an hour after receiving pain meds. Sooo, i timed it right and got some before they did all that. Also for the ride home, roads here are a bit bumpy.

You will do great!!

I had a drain and a catheter. They took my cath out at 4am the morning after surgery. They removed my drain before I left the hospital, was the weirdest feeling ever coming out. Felt like a worm coming out...weird feeling but didn't hurt!
